girls, girls, girls.

after a long vacation (both pysical and imagined) ive started to paint again.
leaving alone the constraints of soaking and stretching expensive paper, i'm just scribbling away, quite furiously, in my cream paged sketchbook. i cannot stand to be so fussy and fastidious at the moment, so this change is very welcome. i'm falling back in love with being carefree.

coquette
a shiny girl who just wants all of your attention. (and i want her clothes!)
perhaps she sells cigarettes in the cinema.

an eye for an eye
those who dabble in black magic must pay the sacrifice sooner or later.

sunbeam
descended from a long line of monobrowed people.
my revolting lolita, my lovely honeypie.
(thats supposed to be a sunhat, not a religious arc...)

what i wore
for the flickr pool of the same title.
always a helpful subject to get my languishing hands back into action.

married
my obsession with marriage, house and baby carriage dont look like they are going to vanish anytime soon.

Lovely to see you back. As ever beautiful illustrations. I particularly like the girls head at the end. I finally found some frames for your beautiful prints, so my desk is a lot more Caitlined than before!

I love these, the first one and the "revolting lolita" are my favorites. She brings to mind a young Frida Kahlo, careless and free. The little lines of text perfect the paintings/sketches in my opinion.
